Bath re-enamelling near Wolvey

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wolvey

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Wolvey

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Wolvey

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wolvey. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wolvey

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
