Need bath re-enamelling in Botley?

Landlord and trade work in Botley

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Botley

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace in Botley?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add 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.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Botley

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

Common problems we fix in Botley

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Botley: your questions answered

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How it works

There is 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 most of the day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Botley. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Botley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
