Bath re-enamelling for Uckington homes

Bath re-enamelling in Uckington without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, whatever the material.

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

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Uckington

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What affects the price in Uckington

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Uckington. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Uckington, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common questions in Uckington

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Work for landlords and builders

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

If you manage property in Uckington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
