Bath re-enamelling in Pontesford

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

About our bath re-enamelling in Pontesford

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

When to call us in Pontesford

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

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

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pontesford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Pontesford, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Pontesford

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

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you work in Pontesford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Pontesford and the rest of Shropshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Pontesford

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
