Bath re-enamelling in Womenswold

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Womenswold, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t 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.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Womenswold

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Womenswold

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Womenswold use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
