Bath re-enamelling near Montpelier

About our bath re-enamelling in Montpelier

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Montpelier

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Montpelier, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Montpelier: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

When to call us in Montpelier

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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