Bath re-enamelling in Rassau

About our bath re-enamelling in Rassau

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

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

Common problems we fix in Rassau

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rassau

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Questions from Rassau

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Rassau is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
