Need bath re-enamelling in Egloskerry?

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Egloskerry

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Egloskerry questions

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL15 postcode.

Are there extra charges for Egloskerry?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Egloskerry

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Egloskerry, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
