About our bath re-enamelling in Hardwick

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and a coating lifting around the plughole.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Hardwick

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What your bath is made of matters

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. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

  • Several chips and rust patches
