Trusted bath re-enamelling in Clyst Heath

Bath re-enamelling in Clyst Heath without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clyst Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Clyst Heath

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

When can you do it?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your EX2 postcode.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What affects the price in Clyst Heath

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Clyst Heath. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
