Bath re-enamelling in Lower Mannington

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Lower Mannington, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lower Mannington

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lower Mannington?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Lower Mannington?

We do. We send a technician to Lower Mannington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

When to call us in Lower Mannington

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
