Bath re-enamelling near Hambridge

Bath re-enamelling in Hambridge, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Roll-top bath being refinished by a Surface Doctor technician

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

Never use suction bath mats
Wash away dyes and oils after use
Respect the curing time we give you
A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What we are called out for in Hambridge

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
An outdated colour you’d like to change
Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before booking

Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How soon you can use it again
A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
The length of the guarantee and what it covers

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Hambridge questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Prices and what affects them

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

The type of damage
The material
Whether we combine several jobs
Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

A wider photo showing the whole bath
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re 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. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
