Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wiggenhall St Germans

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common problems we fix in Wiggenhall St Germans

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wiggenhall St Germans use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Wiggenhall St Germans

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
