Bath re-enamelling for Laverton homes

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Bath re-enamelling in Laverton, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Laverton

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the whole of Bath and North East Somerset?

We cover the whole UK, including Laverton and the rest of Bath and North East Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Do you work in Laverton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Laverton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Common problems we fix in Laverton

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BA2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Laverton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Laverton clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
