Bath re-enamelling at your home in Roser's Cross

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Roser's Cross

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Roser's Cross

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roser's Cross as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

What we work on

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