Bath re-enamelling in Sandford St Martin, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Sandford St Martin

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Sandford St Martin

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Sandford St Martin

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Sandford St Martin?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 normally cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Sandford St Martin

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
