Bath re-enamelling for Wilminstone homes

Common problems we fix in Wilminstone

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wilminstone

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Wilminstone questions

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Wilminstone?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilminstone

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Wilminstone?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
