Bath re-enamelling in Oldbury-on-the-Hill

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

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

Bath re-enamelling in Oldbury-on-the-Hill without replacing anything

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. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oldbury-on-the-Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Oldbury-on-the-Hill

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Oldbury-on-the-Hill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

What we work on

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

Oldbury-on-the-Hill: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across South Gloucestershire.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Oldbury-on-the-Hill

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Oldbury-on-the-Hill
