Need bath re-enamelling in Lower Ansty?

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lower Ansty

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, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Ansty

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

When to call us in Lower Ansty

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
