Bath re-enamelling near Manaccan

About our bath re-enamelling in Manaccan

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Manaccan as everywhere else we work.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 typically cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Work for landlords and builders

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

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

FAQs for Manaccan

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What affects the price in Manaccan

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Manaccan. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
