Bath re-enamelling in Long Bennington

Bath re-enamelling in Long Bennington, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Long Bennington

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Long Bennington

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
