Trusted bath re-enamelling in Hannington

Landlord and trade work in Hannington

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hannington

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hannington

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Hannington

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.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hannington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

Hannington: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

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.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Hannington?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does someone need to be in?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hannington. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • 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.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

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

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
