Bath re-enamelling in Lydmarsh

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lydmarsh

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Lydmarsh

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Lydmarsh: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Lydmarsh?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is there a guarantee?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no 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.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Lydmarsh

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Lydmarsh

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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
