Need bath re-enamelling in Willian?

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

About our bath re-enamelling in Willian

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Willian

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Willian?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?

We work UK-wide, so Willian is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is there a smell?

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
