Repairing versus replacing in Tockington

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tockington

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tockington?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BS32 postcode.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tockington?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What affects the price in Tockington

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
