Bath re-enamelling in Ovington

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything

About our bath re-enamelling in Ovington

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ovington. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP25 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ovington

Ovington: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you work in Ovington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ovington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What we are called out for in Ovington

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we work on in Ovington

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
