Trusted bath re-enamelling in Chedington

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chedington

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Chedington

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that will not shift

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chedington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Chedington

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Chedington. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Chedington?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DT8 postcode.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we work on in Chedington

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
