Need bath re-enamelling in West Lyng?

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Bath re-enamelling in West Lyng, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Lyng

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Lyng use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What affects the price in West Lyng

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for West Lyng. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

West Lyng: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you work in West Lyng?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to West Lyng and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

When to call us in West Lyng

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
