How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ascott d'Oyley

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Repair or replace in Ascott d'Oyley?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ascott d'Oyley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in Ascott d'Oyley

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ascott d'Oyley?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
