Bath re-enamelling near Stoke Albany

Bath re-enamelling in Stoke Albany, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Stoke Albany

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Stoke Albany

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke Albany

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

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
