Bath re-enamelling in Southburgh

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Southburgh

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

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

FAQs for Southburgh

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you come to Southburgh?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Southburgh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
