Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Speen

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Speen: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Speen and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

What affects the price in Speen

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Speen

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

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

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
