Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

About our bath re-enamelling in Harpole

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. We’re often asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Harpole

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. 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, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

FAQs for Harpole

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Are there extra charges for Harpole?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
