Bath re-enamelling near Bicton

Bath re-enamelling in Bicton, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Bicton

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Bicton

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that will not shift

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Bicton

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bicton. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting 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.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

For landlords and businesses

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
