Bath re-enamelling in Summergangs

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Summergangs

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Summergangs

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, we can generally put it right.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Summergangs

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Summergangs as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Summergangs?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repair or replace in Summergangs?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Summergangs questions

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
