How we handle bath re-enamelling in Yenston

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Questions from Yenston

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What affects the price in Yenston

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in Yenston, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Yenston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

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’s the part we put right.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we’re called out for in Yenston

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
