Bath re-enamelling in Ware

Bath re-enamelling in Ware, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ware?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ware

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Questions from Ware

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

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK
