Bath re-enamelling for Edbrook homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Edbrook

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Edbrook?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  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 following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Edbrook

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions from Edbrook

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I have to be there?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Edbrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
