Bath re-enamelling in Eddington

What affects the price in Eddington

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Eddington

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace in Eddington?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Eddington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs

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 pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Landlord and trade work in Eddington

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Questions from Eddington

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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