About our bath re-enamelling in Bibstone

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bibstone as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bibstone. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we’re called out for in Bibstone

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
