Bath re-enamelling in Deaf Hill without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Deaf Hill?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Deaf Hill

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Deaf Hill. Our prices are the same everywhere.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for Deaf Hill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

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.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Deaf Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
