Bath re-enamelling in Tarrant Keyneston without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tarrant Keyneston

If you manage property in Tarrant Keyneston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: 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 you’re under no obligation.

Tarrant Keyneston: your questions answered

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tarrant Keyneston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What we are called out for in Tarrant Keyneston

Common reasons people in Tarrant Keyneston contact us include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
