How we handle bath re-enamelling in Onneley

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Onneley

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

FAQs for Onneley

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Repairs by material

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.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
