Trusted bath re-enamelling in Alvington

Bath re-enamelling in Alvington, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Alvington. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

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.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking

Take a look at our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Can I fix it myself?

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Alvington questions

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?

All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What we are called out for in Alvington

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
