Bath re-enamelling near Nupdown

Bath re-enamelling in Nupdown, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Nupdown and across South Gloucestershire.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What we’re called out for in Nupdown

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that will not shift

Comparing quotes

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
