How we handle bath re-enamelling in Papworth Everard

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in Papworth Everard

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Papworth Everard, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Papworth Everard

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
