Bath re-enamelling for Harby homes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Harby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Harby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

About our bath re-enamelling in Harby

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What we’re called out for in Harby

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Common questions in Harby

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
