Bath re-enamelling in Soudley

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Soudley

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Soudley as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Soudley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Soudley

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Soudley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Soudley customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Questions from Soudley

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
