Bath re-enamelling in Peldon, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What we’re called out for in Peldon

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Look out for these signs:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions from Peldon

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you cover Peldon?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Peldon and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Peldon?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CO5 postcode.

What affects the price in Peldon

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Peldon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Peldon clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlord and trade work in Peldon

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Never use suction bath mats

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
