Need bath re-enamelling in Priestwood Green?

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we work on in Priestwood Green

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Priestwood Green

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. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. 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.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DA13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
