Bath re-enamelling for West Clifton homes

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we handle bath re-enamelling in West Clifton

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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.

West Clifton: your questions answered

Is there a smell?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, West Clifton included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in West Clifton?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in West Clifton

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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