How we handle bath re-enamelling in Calcot

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Calcot

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Calcot as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise 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.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Calcot?

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Calcot

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Calcot is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
