How we handle bath re-enamelling in Westleigh

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Westleigh questions

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Westleigh get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
