How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rosehill

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What affects the price in Rosehill

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Rosehill. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, 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, with the outside refinished as well.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rosehill?

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Rosehill

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there any odour?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

We work UK-wide, so Rosehill is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
