Bath re-enamelling near Cheriton

Bath re-enamelling in Cheriton without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

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

What we’re called out for in Cheriton

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

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

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Cheriton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

FAQs for Cheriton

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Do you come to Cheriton?

We do. Technicians travel to Cheriton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
