Bath re-enamelling for Heddington homes

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Heddington?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Bath re-enamelling in Heddington without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not 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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Heddington

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

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

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
