Bath re-enamelling near Pightley

Bath re-enamelling in Pightley without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Pightley

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What affects the price in Pightley

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
