Need bath re-enamelling in Rumbling Street?

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rumbling Street

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rumbling Street?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Rumbling Street

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long does re-enamelling take?

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

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are there extra charges for Rumbling Street?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
