Bath re-enamelling near Lower Tean

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lower Tean

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Tean

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Questions from Lower Tean

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
