Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Withycombe

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover Withycombe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Withycombe and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What affects the price in Withycombe

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Withycombe, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Withycombe

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
