Bath re-enamelling in Broad Hinton without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broad Hinton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common questions in Broad Hinton

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

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

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Repairing versus replacing in Broad Hinton

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
