Bath re-enamelling in Hallam Head

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Hallam Head, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hallam Head

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

FAQs for Hallam Head

What information do you need?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What affects the price in Hallam Head

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
