Bath re-enamelling in Fritwell

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Fritwell

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Roll-top bath being refinished by a Surface Doctor technician

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Fritwell?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What affects the price in Fritwell

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fritwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Fritwell and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

FAQs for Fritwell

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fritwell?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
