Bath re-enamelling in Bridge of Earn

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bridge of Earn

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What affects the price in Bridge of Earn

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bridge of Earn, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Bridge of Earn

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

Landlord and trade work in Bridge of Earn

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bridge of Earn as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Bridge of Earn questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Bridge of Earn?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What do you need from me?

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

What we’re called out for in Bridge of Earn

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Give the finish its full curing time before using the 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.
