About our bath re-enamelling in Faulkland

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Faulkland?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Faulkland

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Faulkland and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you cover Faulkland?

We do. We send a technician to Faulkland for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
