Bath re-enamelling near Clareton

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Clareton

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. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Clareton. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Clareton

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Landlord and trade work in Clareton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Clareton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Clareton questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
