Bath re-enamelling for Withywood homes

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Withywood

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bristol.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Withywood

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Withywood

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Withywood. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Withywood get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Withywood

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Withywood and the rest of Bristol. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
