About our bath re-enamelling in West Overton

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for West Overton

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in West Overton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in West Overton?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

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

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
