Common problems we fix in Whitchurch

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Bath re-enamelling in Whitchurch without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Whitchurch

How soon can you come?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitchurch

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Whitchurch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the whole UK
