About our bath re-enamelling in Northend

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Questions from Northend

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Will the bath be moved?

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Northend

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
