Bath re-enamelling in Whittingham

Landlord and trade work in Whittingham

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Whittingham

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What we’re called out for in Whittingham

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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 usually be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Whittingham

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our pricing and bath cost comparison.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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