Need bath re-enamelling in Clawton?

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

About our bath re-enamelling in Clawton

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can generally put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Clawton as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

What your bath is made of matters

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. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clawton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

When to call us in Clawton

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Clawton questions

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
