The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  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 typically be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Questions from Meare

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you come to Meare?

We do. We send a technician to Meare for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Meare

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
