Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Repairing versus replacing in Chalbury Common

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chalbury Common

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

Common problems we fix in Chalbury Common

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Repairs by material

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.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
