Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What affects the price in Abbas Combe

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Abbas Combe

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
