Bath re-enamelling near Penleigh

Bath re-enamelling in Penleigh without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Penleigh and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

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

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Landlord and trade work in Penleigh

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Penleigh: your questions answered

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
