Bath re-enamelling for Harrington homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Harrington

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Harrington

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

What do you need from me?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harrington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Materials we work on in Harrington

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

Common problems we fix in Harrington

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:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Harrington

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
