Bath re-enamelling near Thwaite St Mary

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thwaite St Mary

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Common questions in Thwaite St Mary

Are you accredited?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Thwaite St Mary.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What information do you need?

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

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Common problems we fix in Thwaite St Mary

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white

How to compare quotes

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NR35 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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)

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

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Thwaite St Mary

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Thwaite St Mary clients choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
