Repair or replace in Bridge Hewick?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bridge Hewick

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

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

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What we’re called out for in Bridge Hewick

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Look out for these signs:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bridge Hewick. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
