Bath re-enamelling for Keyham homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Keyham

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We’re often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Keyham

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Keyham

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
