Bath re-enamelling in Wootton Green without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Wootton Green

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wootton Green

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that is rusted through

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Wootton Green

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
