How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thedden

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Thedden

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Thedden?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Thedden

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thedden as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Thedden

How long does re-enamelling take?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

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

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
