Bath re-enamelling near Over

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Over

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Questions from Over

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Over?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

What we work on

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Over, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we’re called out for in Over

Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure

What your bath is made of matters

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

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