Bath re-enamelling in Bolholt

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bolholt

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bolholt

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

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

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

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Bolholt. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bolholt

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairing versus replacing in Bolholt

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bolholt. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bolholt?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Look out for these signs:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
