Common problems we fix in Bosbury

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that will not shift

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure

Bath re-enamelling in Bosbury without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Bosbury and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bosbury

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Bosbury is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
