Bath re-enamelling in East Compton

What we’re called out for in East Compton

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Common reasons people in East Compton contact us are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should you replace it?

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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Compton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in East Compton

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you work in East Compton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to East Compton and the rest of Somerset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
