Bath re-enamelling in Exton

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Exton

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Exton. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Exton

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EX3 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
