Bath re-enamelling in Rimington

Rimington: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover Rimington?

We do. We send a technician to Rimington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

About our bath re-enamelling in Rimington

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Rimington and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rimington

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: 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 and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What your bath is made of matters

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 baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, 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. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
