Need bath re-enamelling in Trimley St Martin?

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Trimley St Martin

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

If you manage property in Trimley St Martin, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Trimley St Martin

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Common problems we fix in Trimley St Martin

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
