How we handle bath re-enamelling in Vernham Dean

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is the work guaranteed?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Are there extra charges for Vernham Dean?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What we are called out for in Vernham Dean

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
