About our bath re-enamelling in Rudgwick

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches.

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Common questions in Rudgwick

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

When can you do it?

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

Do you work in Rudgwick?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rudgwick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Landlord and trade work in Rudgwick

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Common problems we fix in Rudgwick

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
