How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Simpson

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Simpson

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Simpson?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
