Need bath re-enamelling in Windle?

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

About our bath re-enamelling in Windle

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Windle as everywhere else we work.

Repair or replace in Windle?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Windle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Windle

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you work in Windle?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Windle for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Landlord and trade work in Windle

For anyone letting property in or around Windle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
