Bath re-enamelling near Port Tennant

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Port Tennant

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Advice

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

What we are called out for in Port Tennant

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
