Trusted bath re-enamelling in Charlcombe

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Charlcombe

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

What we work on

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

Charlcombe questions

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Will the price change on the day?

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

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

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When to call us in Charlcombe

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Landlord and trade work in Charlcombe

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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