Bath re-enamelling for Caldecott homes

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Caldecott, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Caldecott as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Caldecott questions

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do I have to be there?

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

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Will the price change on the day?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Caldecott

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Caldecott, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently 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.

Repair or replace in Caldecott?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Caldecott. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Caldecott and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
