Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Roydon

What happens after I send photos?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you cover Roydon?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Roydon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Roydon

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Roydon?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Roydon

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
