How we handle bath re-enamelling in Walhampton

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 We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walhampton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Walhampton?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Common reasons people in Walhampton contact us are:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

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.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Does someone need to be in?
