Bath re-enamelling near Latton

About our bath re-enamelling in Latton

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What affects the price in Latton

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Latton. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Latton?

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that will not shift

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Latton questions

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
