Bath re-enamelling at your home in Compton Bishop

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Compton Bishop

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Compton Bishop as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Compton Bishop

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Compton Bishop

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BS26 postcode.

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.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Do you work in Compton Bishop?

We do. Technicians travel to Compton Bishop from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is it messy?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
