Bath re-enamelling near East Chinnock

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

What we work on

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in East Chinnock

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What we’re called out for in East Chinnock

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not 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.

Questions from East Chinnock

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you come to East Chinnock?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to East Chinnock for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
