Bath re-enamelling near Weston

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Weston

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we are called out for in Weston

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Weston: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Do you cover Weston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Weston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What affects the price in Weston

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Weston

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, 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 anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
