About our bath re-enamelling in Winterbourne Bassett

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Winterbourne Bassett. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

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.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Winterbourne Bassett

If you manage property in Winterbourne Bassett, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What we’re called out for in Winterbourne Bassett

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Common questions in Winterbourne Bassett

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How it works

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

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
