How we handle bath re-enamelling in Avonbridge

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Avonbridge. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Avonbridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Common questions in Avonbridge

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Avonbridge is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you cover Avonbridge?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Avonbridge. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Avonbridge?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
