Bath re-enamelling for Princes Risborough homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Princes Risborough

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Princes Risborough and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

What affects the price in Princes Risborough

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Princes Risborough

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

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

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Princes Risborough as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
