How we handle bath re-enamelling in Westcot

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Westcot

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What affects the price in Westcot

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Westcot. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Westcot

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

FAQs for Westcot

Do you cover Westcot?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Westcot and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
