Trusted bath re-enamelling in Hackford

Bath re-enamelling in Hackford without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for Hackford

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hackford?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we are called out for in Hackford

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
