Bath re-enamelling near Chiseldon

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chiseldon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Bath re-enamelling in Chiseldon, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full 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. 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 following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Chiseldon

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Chiseldon

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Chiseldon, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chiseldon?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
