FAQs for Appleford-on-Thames

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

About our bath re-enamelling in Appleford-on-Thames

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. 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 next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When to call us in Appleford-on-Thames

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Appleford-on-Thames. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
