Bath re-enamelling in Leigh upon Mendip

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

About our bath re-enamelling in Leigh upon Mendip

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Leigh upon Mendip

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

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Leigh upon Mendip

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Leigh upon Mendip. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Leigh upon Mendip

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

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Leigh upon Mendip: your questions answered

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
