About our bath re-enamelling in Bishopsworth

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bishopsworth?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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  • An outdated colour you’d like to change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

  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Bishopsworth

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bishopsworth, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bishopsworth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Most clients in Bishopsworth get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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