About our bath re-enamelling in Bassetts Pole

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bassetts Pole

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairing versus replacing in Bassetts Pole

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Bassetts Pole clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Bassetts Pole

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Bassetts Pole

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
