Bath re-enamelling in Tatworth

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tatworth

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Tatworth

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tatworth?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Tatworth questions

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work in Tatworth?

We do. Technicians travel to Tatworth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Tatworth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tatworth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
