Bath re-enamelling in Vigo without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we are called out for in Vigo

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Vigo?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

FAQs for Vigo

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
