Bath re-enamelling for Hardwick homes

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hardwick

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Hardwick

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. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hardwick

Letting agents frequently 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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hardwick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common problems we fix in Hardwick

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Look out for these signs:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

How to compare quotes

Hardwick questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it messy?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing or bath cost comparison.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
