How we handle bath re-enamelling in New Zealand

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Zealand

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

When to call us in New Zealand

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for New Zealand. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for New Zealand. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in New Zealand, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
