About our bath re-enamelling in Navenby

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Navenby as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your bath is made of matters

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 what we repair.

Acrylic

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Navenby?

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Navenby: your questions answered

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Navenby.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.
