Bath re-enamelling near Hurstbourne Tarrant

Bath re-enamelling in Hurstbourne Tarrant without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Questions from Hurstbourne Tarrant

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hurstbourne Tarrant?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

What affects the price in Hurstbourne Tarrant

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo 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 you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
