Beercrocombe questions

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Will there be fumes?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Common problems we fix in Beercrocombe

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Beercrocombe

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Beercrocombe customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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