How we handle bath re-enamelling in Palfrey

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and stains that won’t shift, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Palfrey and across Walsall.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Palfrey

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
