Trusted bath re-enamelling in Hardwick

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hardwick

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hardwick and across Cambridgeshire.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hardwick

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hardwick

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.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hardwick?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CB23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What we’re called out for in Hardwick

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
