Bath re-enamelling in North Seaton

What your bath is made of matters

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

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Bath re-enamelling in North Seaton, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in North Seaton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Landlord and trade work in North Seaton

If you manage property in North Seaton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we are called out for in North Seaton

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

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

What we work on

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