Bath re-enamelling for Hartle homes

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Bath re-enamelling in Hartle, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Hartle

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Hartle questions

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

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

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hartle

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
