Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Bath re-enamelling in West Hagbourne without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and stains that won’t shift.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in West Hagbourne

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Comparing quotes

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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

West Hagbourne: your questions answered

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

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

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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 damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Hagbourne

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Repair or replace in West Hagbourne?

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 are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
