Need bath re-enamelling in Shurton?

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shurton

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can usually put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Shurton

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shurton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Shurton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Shurton

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath

For a price in Shurton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
