How we handle bath re-enamelling in East Horrington

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for East Horrington

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

The entire UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in East Horrington

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
