Bath re-enamelling for Harford homes

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Harford

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

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

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

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. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Harford

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Harford

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be fumes?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
