Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Rennington, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What affects the price in Rennington

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rennington?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Common questions in Rennington

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Will the bath be moved?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
