Bath re-enamelling near Quernmore

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Quernmore

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Honest limits

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Quernmore?

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

Customers typically contact us about:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Quernmore

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Quernmore: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. 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. 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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

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