About our bath re-enamelling in Charford

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Charford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Charford questions

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Charford?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charford

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
