Trusted bath re-enamelling in Rew Street

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rew Street

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight.

What we’re called out for in Rew Street

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Isle of Wight and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace in Rew Street?

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

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 most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
