  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps

About our bath re-enamelling in Cat Hill

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Cat Hill

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath

Most customers in Cat Hill get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cat Hill

For anyone letting property in or around Cat Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cat Hill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Cat Hill: your questions answered

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is it messy?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Cat Hill?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cat Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Cat Hill customers choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
