Bath re-enamelling near Baston

Baston: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover Baston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Baston. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Baston

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Baston, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Baston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Baston

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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