Bath re-enamelling in Harmer Green

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Harmer Green

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Harmer Green

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we’re called out for in Harmer Green

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Harmer Green

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Harmer Green?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Repairing versus replacing in Harmer Green

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Harmer Green clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

  • A picture taken from further back

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.

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 normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
