Bath re-enamelling near St Marys

Bath re-enamelling at your home in St Marys

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in St Marys and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Common questions in St Marys

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in St Marys?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for St Marys. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in St Marys get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
