Harden questions

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Harden

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When to call us in Harden

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When a repair is not the answer

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
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Harden

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Repairs by material

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’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What affects the price in Harden

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
