How we handle bath re-enamelling in Winchcombe

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Winchcombe

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Winchcombe.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

Materials we work on in Winchcombe

  • Acrylic baths

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.
