Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bunce Common

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is it messy?

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

Do you cover Bunce Common?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Bunce Common from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Bunce Common. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bunce Common

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Common reasons people in Bunce Common contact us are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

What we work on

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

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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 until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price
