About our bath re-enamelling in Fawler

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. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Fawler

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Fawler

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fawler?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

FAQs for Fawler

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oxfordshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
