Bath re-enamelling in Priston

Bath re-enamelling in Priston, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Priston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BA2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Priston

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

Priston: your questions answered

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Priston?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Common problems we fix in Priston

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Common reasons people in Priston contact us are:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 usually cheaper.

What affects the price in Priston

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
