Bath re-enamelling in Mawsley Village without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Mawsley Village

Are there extra charges for Mawsley Village?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

When to call us in Mawsley Village

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to look after the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mawsley Village

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
