Bath re-enamelling for Waddesdon homes

Landlord and trade work in Waddesdon

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Waddesdon, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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 generally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When to call us in Waddesdon

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

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Waddesdon

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Waddesdon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Waddesdon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Repairing versus replacing in Waddesdon

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
