Bath re-enamelling in Rinsey Croft

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rinsey Croft

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Rinsey Croft

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that is rusted through

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

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Rinsey Croft

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Rinsey Croft questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Rinsey Croft?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
