Bath re-enamelling in Roxeth

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Roxeth

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Roxeth as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Roxeth

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for these signs:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Roxeth

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Roxeth. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Roxeth and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Roxeth

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow the best part of a day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from Roxeth

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
