Bath re-enamelling near Lower Raydon

About our bath re-enamelling in Lower Raydon

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Lower Raydon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

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

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Raydon

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lower Raydon. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lower Raydon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
