Trusted bath re-enamelling in Wickham Common

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wickham Common

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Wickham Common. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wickham Common, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wickham Common

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Wickham Common?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wickham Common. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Wickham Common: your questions answered

Do you come to Wickham Common?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wickham Common for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a smell?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Common problems we fix in Wickham Common

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
