Bath re-enamelling near Castle Combe

About our bath re-enamelling in Castle Combe

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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

What affects the price in Castle Combe

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Castle Combe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SN14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 usually cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

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

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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Castle Combe

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
