How we handle bath re-enamelling in Compton

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Compton

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Compton. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Most customers in Compton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Compton

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace in Compton?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

Common questions in Compton

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
