Bath re-enamelling near Reen Manor

Bath re-enamelling in Reen Manor, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Reen Manor and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Reen Manor

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Are there extra charges for Reen Manor?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

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

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Common problems we fix in Reen Manor

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Several chips and rust patches

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

What we work on

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

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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 typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
