Bath re-enamelling in Locksgreen

About our bath re-enamelling in Locksgreen

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 regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Locksgreen and across Isle of Wight.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Locksgreen

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Locksgreen

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Locksgreen

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

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

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Locksgreen

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Common problems we fix in Locksgreen

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Look out for these signs:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
