Bath re-enamelling near Dodington

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dodington

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dodington and across Somerset.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Dodington

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Common reasons people in Dodington contact us include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Repairing versus replacing in Dodington

Replacing a bath generally 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from Dodington

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Dodington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TA5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
