Bath re-enamelling in Onston

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Onston

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Onston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs

FAQs for Onston

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Onston

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Look out for these signs:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Onston

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Onston. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
