Bath re-enamelling in West Allotment

Bath re-enamelling at your home in West Allotment

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in West Allotment

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, West Allotment included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to West Allotment. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE27 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we’re called out for in West Allotment

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  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 normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
