Bath re-enamelling at your home in Willenhall
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Willenhall
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you cover the entire of Walsall?
We cover the whole UK, including Willenhall and the rest of Walsall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
