Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Whitmoor Vale

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We’re frequently asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Whitmoor Vale

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When to call us in Whitmoor Vale

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, 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, then guarantee it for a year.
