Bath re-enamelling near Coombe

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Coombe

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Coombe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Coombe

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Questions from Coombe

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Coombe included. Travel is included in the price.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
