Bath re-enamelling for Cheddon Fitzpaine homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cheddon Fitzpaine

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cheddon Fitzpaine and across Somerset.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that is rusted through

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

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Cheddon Fitzpaine

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Cheddon Fitzpaine

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Cheddon Fitzpaine, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
