About our bath re-enamelling in Padworth Common

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Padworth Common?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Padworth Common. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Questions from Padworth Common

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across West Berkshire.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Do you cover Padworth Common?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Padworth Common. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Padworth Common

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old 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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Berkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Padworth Common as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
