How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Crowcombe

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, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Honest limits

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

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Crowcombe

What we are called out for in Crowcombe

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Look out for these signs:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Crowcombe

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Crowcombe?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What affects the price in Crowcombe

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
