How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

For anyone letting property in or around Halleaths, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we’re called out for in Halleaths

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Halleaths

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Halleaths and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
