Bath re-enamelling for Metton homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Metton

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Metton

Enamel wears gradually. 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:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Common questions in Metton

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

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

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Landlords, agents and businesses in Metton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Metton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

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

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

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
