About our bath re-enamelling in North Cockerington

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Cockerington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in North Cockerington

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Are there extra charges for North Cockerington?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in North Cockerington

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

When to call us in North Cockerington

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
