Bath re-enamelling near Minehead

What we’re called out for in Minehead

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

Bath re-enamelling in Minehead without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

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

Different materials, different repairs

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

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TA24 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Minehead

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you work in Minehead?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Minehead and the rest of Somerset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
