Bath re-enamelling for Upper Langridge homes

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Bath re-enamelling in Upper Langridge, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Upper Langridge

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Upper Langridge?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When to call us in Upper Langridge

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Common reasons people in Upper Langridge contact us are:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Landlord and trade work in Upper Langridge

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
