Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Picket Piece

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Picket Piece

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Picket Piece as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we’re called out for in Picket Piece

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that won’t shift

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

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 is what we repair.

Questions from Picket Piece

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Picket Piece?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SP11 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
