Bath re-enamelling near Prees Green

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

About our bath re-enamelling in Prees Green

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Prees Green?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Prees Green questions

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

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

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
