Bath re-enamelling near Fewcott

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

About our bath re-enamelling in Fewcott

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Fewcott

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath

If you’re in Fewcott and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

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