About our bath re-enamelling in Patchway

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Patchway. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Patchway, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Common questions in Patchway

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Patchway?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Patchway from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  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 generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
