Bath re-enamelling for Salden homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Salden without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

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.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

Materials we work on in Salden

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

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your MK17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Common problems we fix in Salden

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

FAQs for Salden

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Salden?

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