Bath re-enamelling near Ponsford

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Bath re-enamelling in Ponsford without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ponsford as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What affects the price in Ponsford

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ponsford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Ponsford

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ponsford?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you accredited?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Ponsford

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
