Need bath re-enamelling in Perceton?

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Bath re-enamelling in Perceton without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We’re frequently asked to fix several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Perceton questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you cover Perceton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Perceton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Perceton. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

What we are called out for in Perceton

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Perceton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
