About our bath re-enamelling in Puttenham

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace in Puttenham?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that is rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Questions from Puttenham

Can you price it without visiting?

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

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

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

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

For landlords and businesses

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we are called out for in Puttenham

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
