Bath Re-enamelling in West Berkshire

Bath re-enamelling across West Berkshire: what to expect

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

What you will pay

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Berkshire. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we’re called out for in West Berkshire

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to look after the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

West Berkshire questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
