Bath re-enamelling in Sparsholt

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Bath re-enamelling in Sparsholt, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sparsholt as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
