Bath re-enamelling near Harrold

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Harrold

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Harrold. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Harrold. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Harrold

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Questions from Harrold

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Harrold?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will there be fumes?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Harrold and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
