Bath re-enamelling near Rockhampton

Bath re-enamelling in Rockhampton, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Rockhampton

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?

The entire UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. 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.

Repair or replace in Rockhampton?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
