Bath re-enamelling for Littlemoss homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Littlemoss

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Questions from Littlemoss

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

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

What we’re called out for in Littlemoss

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Littlemoss, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
