Bath re-enamelling near Milehill

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Milehill

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Milehill: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you cover Milehill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Milehill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repairing versus replacing in Milehill

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Take a look at our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
