Bath re-enamelling at your home in Betton

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. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Betton

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Questions from Betton

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

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.

Is there a guarantee?

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

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.

Do you cover Betton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Betton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can landlords book you?

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Betton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Common problems we fix in Betton

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
