Bath re-enamelling near Prestwood

Common questions in Prestwood

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Prestwood is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Bath re-enamelling in Prestwood, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Prestwood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Prestwood

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

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

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that won’t shift

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Have chips seen to early

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Prestwood

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
