About our bath re-enamelling in East Garston

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in East Garston?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in East Garston

Do you work in East Garston?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to East Garston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in East Garston?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Garston

For anyone letting property in or around East Garston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Garston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
