Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Perham Down

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Perham Down

For anyone letting property in or around Perham Down, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When to call us in Perham Down

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Perham Down and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Perham Down

Can landlords book you?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work in Perham Down?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
