Bath re-enamelling in Bottom of Hutton, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and lots of chips and rust spots, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Bottom of Hutton

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repairing versus replacing in Bottom of Hutton

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Bottom of Hutton

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you work in Bottom of Hutton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bottom of Hutton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

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

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
