Bath re-enamelling for Lower Largo homes

Lower Largo: your questions answered

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lower Largo

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Lower Largo

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KY8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Largo

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Lower Largo

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Stains that won’t shift

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
