Bath re-enamelling near Upper Breinton

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upper Breinton

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Upper Breinton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
