How we handle bath re-enamelling in Mere Green

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Mere Green?

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Mere Green

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Mere Green. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Mere Green

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
