Bath re-enamelling in Hewish

What we are called out for in Hewish

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps

Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling in Hewish without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Hewish

Do you come to Hewish?

We do. We send a technician to Hewish for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Hewish

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlord and trade work in Hewish

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Hewish, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
