Bath re-enamelling in Hanmer without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Hanmer?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Hanmer

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hanmer.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you cover Hanmer?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hanmer and the rest of Shropshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hanmer. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

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

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hanmer

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
