How we handle bath re-enamelling in Owlpen

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Owlpen, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Owlpen. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Owlpen and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit 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 pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Owlpen questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
