Bath re-enamelling at your home in Upper Soudley

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and stains that won’t shift, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Upper Soudley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Upper Soudley. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Upper Soudley

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Upper Soudley

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you work in Upper Soudley?

We do. Technicians travel to Upper Soudley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
