Bath re-enamelling in East Lydeard without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in East Lydeard

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in East Lydeard?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TA4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we repair

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