How we handle bath re-enamelling in Overton

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

What affects the price in Overton

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Overton and want a price, 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlord and trade work in Overton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Overton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are

Overton: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

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

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you come to Overton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Overton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
