How we handle bath re-enamelling in Station Town

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for 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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Most clients in Station Town get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Station Town

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Station Town?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

FAQs for Station Town

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
