Bath re-enamelling in Hampton Bishop

Bath re-enamelling in Hampton Bishop without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hampton Bishop and across Herefordshire.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Work for landlords and builders

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

For anyone letting property in or around Hampton Bishop, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hampton Bishop. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

  • Acrylic baths

FAQs for Hampton Bishop

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What we’re called out for in Hampton Bishop

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. 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.
