Bath re-enamelling at your home in Fryerning

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fryerning

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fryerning as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Fryerning, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Fryerning

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Fryerning

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is there a smell?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Fryerning?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Fryerning.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Fryerning is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
