How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Stretcholt, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Repairing versus replacing in Stretcholt

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stretcholt?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that will not shift

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
