Bath re-enamelling in Saham Toney

The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Saham Toney

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Questions from Saham Toney

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Are there extra charges for Saham Toney?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is there a smell?

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Saham Toney

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
