Bath re-enamelling near Froxfield

About our bath re-enamelling in Froxfield

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Froxfield

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

FAQs for Froxfield

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Common problems we fix in Froxfield

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What affects the price in Froxfield

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
