Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Spital, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Spital

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

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

Repairing versus replacing in Spital

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Spital customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
