Bath re-enamelling near Lower Willingdon

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on 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 day after.

How to prepare

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lower Willingdon

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re frequently asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lower Willingdon?

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Lower Willingdon

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lower Willingdon.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Willingdon

For anyone letting property in or around Lower Willingdon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
