Repairing versus replacing in Bodicote

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bodicote

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bodicote

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bodicote

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Bodicote

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Bodicote. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bodicote. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

If you are in Bodicote and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for 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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
