Bath re-enamelling at your home in Carhampton

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Carhampton questions

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Carhampton?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Carhampton?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Carhampton

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What affects the price in Carhampton

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For a price in Carhampton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
