Bath re-enamelling for Smallwood Hey homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

About our bath re-enamelling in Smallwood Hey

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Smallwood Hey

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

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 the part we put right.

Repair or replace in Smallwood Hey?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Smallwood Hey?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
