DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Galhampton

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Galhampton

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Will the bath be moved?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls 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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What affects the price in Galhampton

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
