How we handle bath re-enamelling in Treleigh

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

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

Honest limits

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Common problems we fix in Treleigh

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

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.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
