About our bath re-enamelling in East Lyng

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in East Lyng

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

Across the UK, and that includes East Lyng. Prices do not change with location.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in East Lyng

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we are called out for in East Lyng

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
