Trusted bath re-enamelling in Sharpham

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow most of the day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Sharpham

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sharpham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Sharpham

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Sharpham. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Sharpham questions

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
