How we handle bath re-enamelling in Priddy

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. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Priddy questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

We cover the entire UK, including Priddy and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you come to Priddy?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Priddy. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we work on in Priddy

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Priddy

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Priddy use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Priddy. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking
