Bath re-enamelling near Royal Leamington Spa

Common problems we fix in Royal Leamington Spa

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Bath re-enamelling in Royal Leamington Spa without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Royal Leamington Spa

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Warwickshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Royal Leamington Spa. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
