How we handle bath re-enamelling in Milbourne

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

What affects the price in Milbourne

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Milbourne. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Landlord and trade work in Milbourne

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Milbourne

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
