Bath re-enamelling in Upper Chicksgrove

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Upper Chicksgrove

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Upper Chicksgrove

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Upper Chicksgrove get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

FAQs for Upper Chicksgrove

Is there any odour?

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
