Trusted bath re-enamelling in Lower Bullingham

Bath re-enamelling in Lower Bullingham without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lower Bullingham?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Look out for these signs:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Common questions in Lower Bullingham

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How do I book?

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Bullingham

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
