Bath re-enamelling for Hargrave homes

Bath re-enamelling in Hargrave, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hargrave and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Landlord and trade work in Hargrave

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hargrave

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hargrave, and we will reply with a fixed price.
