What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Thuxton, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

FAQs for Thuxton

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Thuxton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Thuxton

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Thuxton

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
