Bath re-enamelling near Avonwick

Bath re-enamelling in Avonwick without replacing anything

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. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Avonwick?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Avonwick: your questions answered

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Avonwick?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace in Avonwick?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Avonwick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported 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 pay close attention there.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
