Bath re-enamelling near Albourne

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book

Bath re-enamelling in Albourne without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Albourne as everywhere else we work.

Albourne questions

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Albourne?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Common problems we fix in Albourne

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Albourne

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that is rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Albourne

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
