Trusted bath re-enamelling in Hammer Bottom

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hammer Bottom

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Hammer Bottom

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

FAQs for Hammer Bottom

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hammer Bottom, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hammer Bottom?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairing versus replacing in Hammer Bottom

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hammer Bottom. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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