Bath re-enamelling in Whitcott Keysett

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Whitcott Keysett

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Questions from Whitcott Keysett

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Whitcott Keysett?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

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.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

Materials we work on in Whitcott Keysett

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whitcott Keysett. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlord and trade work in Whitcott Keysett

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we are called out for in Whitcott Keysett

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
