Trusted bath re-enamelling in Slape Cross

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Slape Cross

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Slape Cross and across Somerset.

Repairing versus replacing in Slape Cross

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Slape Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Slape Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
