Bath re-enamelling near Upper Minety

Bath re-enamelling in Upper Minety without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace in Upper Minety?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Minety use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Upper Minety

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

FAQs for Upper Minety

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How do I book?

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

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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