Bath re-enamelling for Ardington homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ardington

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ardington?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

There is no need for us to visit first. 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 quote.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we work on in Ardington

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Repairing versus replacing in Ardington

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlord and trade work in Ardington

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

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

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
