About our bath re-enamelling in Bower Hinton

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

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.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What we’re called out for in Bower Hinton

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

FAQs for Bower Hinton

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Bower Hinton and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
