Bath re-enamelling near Wherwell Wood

Bath re-enamelling in Wherwell Wood, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What affects the price in Wherwell Wood

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Wherwell Wood questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SP11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
