Bath re-enamelling for Threemilestone homes

Bath re-enamelling in Threemilestone without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Threemilestone questions

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Threemilestone?

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
