About our bath re-enamelling in Plaitford Green

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Plaitford Green

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Plaitford Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that is rusted through

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Plaitford Green

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.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
