Bath re-enamelling in Milford

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Milford

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Milford and across Wiltshire.

Landlord and trade work in Milford

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

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.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What affects the price in Milford

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Milford. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Milford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
