Bath re-enamelling in Toller Porcorum without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Toller Porcorum

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

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Landlord and trade work in Toller Porcorum

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 generally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Toller Porcorum?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the colour is matched

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
