Bath re-enamelling in West Hatch

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Bath re-enamelling in West Hatch without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

FAQs for West Hatch

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in West Hatch

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
