Bath re-enamelling for Watersfield homes

Bath re-enamelling in Watersfield, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Watersfield, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Watersfield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

When to call us in Watersfield

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Watersfield

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you come to Watersfield?

We do. We send a technician to Watersfield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
