How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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 until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Bath re-enamelling in Abington Pigotts, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Abington Pigotts

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Abington Pigotts

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What we’re called out for in Abington Pigotts

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
