About our bath re-enamelling in Little Compton

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and a coating lifting around the plughole.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Little Compton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

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

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Little Compton

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Little Compton and the rest of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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

Repair or replace in Little Compton?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Compton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Compton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
