What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What affects the price in Abbotskerswell

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Abbotskerswell. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Abbotskerswell?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Abbotskerswell customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Common problems we fix in Abbotskerswell

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
