Bath re-enamelling in Upper Eddington

About our bath re-enamelling in Upper Eddington

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Upper Eddington. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Upper Eddington

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Upper Eddington

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will there be a smell?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
