About our bath re-enamelling in North Heath

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in North Heath and across West Berkshire.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in North Heath

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you cover the entire of West Berkshire?

All of West Berkshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Repairing versus replacing in North Heath

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in North Heath?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
