Bath re-enamelling in Pickworth

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pickworth

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pickworth?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
