Bath re-enamelling in St Quivox

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in St Quivox without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

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

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Questions from St Quivox

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

When can you do it?

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

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repairing versus replacing in St Quivox

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in St Quivox

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
