Bath re-enamelling near Torksey Lock

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Torksey Lock?

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
