Need bath re-enamelling in Roston?

Bath re-enamelling in Roston without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Advice

What affects the price in Roston

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Roston. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

FAQs for Roston

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

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.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we are called out for in Roston

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
