Bath re-enamelling in Hardgate, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We are often asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

When to call us in Hardgate

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Hardgate questions

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Landlord and trade work in Hardgate

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repairing versus replacing in Hardgate

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
