Bath re-enamelling in Oldmixon

About our bath re-enamelling in Oldmixon

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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 next day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Repair or replace in Oldmixon?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. 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’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
