Bath re-enamelling in West Meon

How we handle bath re-enamelling in West Meon

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from West Meon

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in West Meon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
