Bath re-enamelling for Talaton homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Bath re-enamelling in Talaton, done in place

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. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Talaton

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you come to Talaton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Talaton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Talaton?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Talaton. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Talaton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Talaton

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts

What a repair cannot fix

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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