Bath re-enamelling near Exton

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

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

Bath re-enamelling in Exton, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

FAQs for Exton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Exton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Landlord and trade work in Exton

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When to call us in Exton

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
