Bath re-enamelling in Lower Bentley, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

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

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

FAQs for Lower Bentley

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Lower Bentley get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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 following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price
