Bath re-enamelling in Nursteed

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Bath re-enamelling in Nursteed without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can usually put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

FAQs for Nursteed

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you work in Nursteed?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Nursteed and the rest of Wiltshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Nursteed?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

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

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
