Bath re-enamelling near Axford

Bath re-enamelling in Axford without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Axford

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When to call us in Axford

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What affects the price in Axford

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Axford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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 day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
