Trusted bath re-enamelling in Lydeard St Lawrence

What affects the price in Lydeard St Lawrence

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

About our bath re-enamelling in Lydeard St Lawrence

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lydeard St Lawrence

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace in Lydeard St Lawrence?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Landlord and trade work in Lydeard St Lawrence

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lydeard St Lawrence as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Lydeard St Lawrence

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
