Need bath re-enamelling in Orleton?

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Orleton

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Orleton as everywhere else we work.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Orleton

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What affects the price in Orleton

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Orleton

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Orleton

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Orleton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
