How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

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

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Perry

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can typically put it right.

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Perry?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Perry

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day.

  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 until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
