How we handle bath re-enamelling in Mugswell

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Mugswell

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that won’t shift

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Mugswell. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
