How we handle bath re-enamelling in Westacott

Every job is backed for twelve months in Westacott and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Westacott
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
