Bath re-enamelling in Paulton

Bath re-enamelling in Paulton without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

When to call us in Paulton

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Paulton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Paulton

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Paulton

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

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 stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
