Bath re-enamelling for Olchard homes

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Olchard

Bath re-enamelling in Olchard without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Olchard

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Comparing quotes

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TQ12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

Questions from Olchard

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work in Olchard?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Olchard?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
