Bath re-enamelling in Wappenham

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wappenham

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Wappenham

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be fumes?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, 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 we cannot put right

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.
