Bath re-enamelling near Batcombe

Bath re-enamelling in Batcombe, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, 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.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath

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.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Batcombe?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

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 and makes resurfacing more work.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

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

Questions from Batcombe

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Batcombe?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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