About our bath re-enamelling in Hareshaw

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hareshaw use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • A fixed quote before you book

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hareshaw?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

FAQs for Hareshaw

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work in Hareshaw?

We do. Technicians travel to Hareshaw from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
