Bath re-enamelling in Widbrook

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

About our bath re-enamelling in Widbrook

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Widbrook and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Widbrook. What changes the price is:

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

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BA15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Widbrook use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Widbrook questions

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
