Bath re-enamelling near West Pennard

How we handle bath re-enamelling in West Pennard

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We are frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in West Pennard

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

FAQs for West Pennard

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a smell?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we work on in West Pennard

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

Common problems we fix in West Pennard

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
