Bath re-enamelling in Padeswood

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Padeswood

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we work on in Padeswood

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

When to call us in Padeswood

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Padeswood

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repairing versus replacing in Padeswood

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
