Bath re-enamelling in Waddicombe without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Waddicombe as everywhere else we work.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build 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.

Common questions in Waddicombe

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you work in Waddicombe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Waddicombe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Are there extra charges for Waddicombe?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Landlord and trade work in Waddicombe

If you manage property in Waddicombe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
