About our bath re-enamelling in Lower Halsway

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Lower Halsway

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Lower Halsway. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Halsway

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lower Halsway

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Lower Halsway?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lower Halsway and the rest of Somerset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lower Halsway

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

  • How your room will be protected
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
