Bath re-enamelling near Frithelstock Stone

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Frithelstock Stone

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Frithelstock Stone and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Frithelstock Stone

Will there be a smell?

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

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

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

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Frithelstock Stone

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Frithelstock Stone, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
