Bath re-enamelling in Sandy Cross without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Sandy Cross

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

How to look after the repair

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

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Sandy Cross: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Sandy Cross get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we are called out for in Sandy Cross

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
