Bath re-enamelling for East Coker homes

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in East Coker

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We’re frequently asked to fix several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow the best part of a day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in East Coker

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in East Coker

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in East Coker?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
