Bath re-enamelling near Corston

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

About our bath re-enamelling in Corston

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Corston

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Common questions in Corston

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is there a smell?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Corston

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Several chips and rust patches

  • What preparation is included

For landlords and businesses

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
