Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

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

Bath re-enamelling in Stourpaine, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stourpaine

If you manage property in Stourpaine, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Stourpaine. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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 photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Stourpaine

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
