Bath re-enamelling near Wallyford

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wallyford

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

FAQs for Wallyford

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wallyford?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you cover Wallyford?

We do. Technicians travel to Wallyford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
