Need bath re-enamelling in Rushmere?

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rushmere

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rushmere

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Rushmere

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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 until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
