How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pool of Muckhart

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Pool of Muckhart

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
