Bath re-enamelling in Slade Green

Bath re-enamelling in Slade Green without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

When to call us in Slade Green

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
