Bath re-enamelling in Church Town

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Church Town

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Church Town

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

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

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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 next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

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

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

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.

What we’re called out for in Church Town
