Middleton Cheney questions

Do you cover Middleton Cheney?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Middleton Cheney from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?

Across the UK, so Middleton Cheney is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Bath re-enamelling in Middleton Cheney, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we work on in Middleton Cheney
