Bath re-enamelling in Upton Towans

Upton Towans: your questions answered

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Are there extra charges for Upton Towans?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upton Towans

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

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

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Upton Towans get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Upton Towans

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
