Bath re-enamelling near East Town

How we handle bath re-enamelling in East Town

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

East Town: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Repair or replace in East Town?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that is rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in East Town

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Store bottles off the bath

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

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