Trusted bath re-enamelling in Lower Padworth

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Bath re-enamelling in Lower Padworth, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can usually put it right.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Common questions in Lower Padworth

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Lower Padworth. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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 next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
