Bath re-enamelling near Plungar

About our bath re-enamelling in Plungar

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we’re called out for in Plungar

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Questions from Plungar

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Plungar?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NG13 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

We do. Repair technicians travel to Plungar from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Plungar customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
