Bath re-enamelling in New Trows without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off 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.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in New Trows

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to New Trows. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When to call us in New Trows

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Look out for these signs:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in New Trows

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 we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
