Bath re-enamelling for Hardwick homes

Bath re-enamelling in Hardwick, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Hardwick. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairing versus replacing in Hardwick

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Hardwick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
