Bath re-enamelling in Woodchester

About our bath re-enamelling in Woodchester

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’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we’re called out for in Woodchester

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Choosing a repair company

Woodchester questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodchester

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.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Woodchester

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
