Bath re-enamelling for Reydon homes

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Reydon

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Reydon: your questions answered

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you come to Reydon?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Reydon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a smell?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we are called out for in Reydon

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
