Bath re-enamelling near Walcot

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Walcot

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We are frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What affects the price in Walcot

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

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
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we work on in Walcot

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
