Bath re-enamelling in Creech St Michael

About our bath re-enamelling in Creech St Michael

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we’re called out for in Creech St Michael

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairing versus replacing in Creech St Michael

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Creech St Michael. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Creech St Michael. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Creech St Michael get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Creech St Michael

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Creech St Michael?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are there extra charges for Creech St Michael?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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