Bath re-enamelling near Winfarthing

About our bath re-enamelling in Winfarthing

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Repairs by material

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Winfarthing

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

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.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Winfarthing

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
