Bath re-enamelling for Batchcott homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Batchcott

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Batchcott: your questions answered

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Batchcott.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Batchcott?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

We price from pictures 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Batchcott

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Batchcott as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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

What we’re called out for in Batchcott

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Repair or replace in Batchcott?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. 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 book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Batchcott

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
