  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Bath re-enamelling in Halam without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Halam as everywhere else we work.

What we’re called out for in Halam

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Common questions in Halam

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Halam?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Halam and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

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

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Halam. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
