Bath re-enamelling in Cirencester

About our bath re-enamelling in Cirencester

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are frequently asked to fix wear marks under the taps and lots of chips and rust spots, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Cirencester

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Cirencester

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Cirencester. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Cirencester

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Cirencester: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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