Book bath re-enamelling in Hartwell

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hartwell

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Bath re-enamelling in Hartwell without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hartwell as everywhere else we work.

Hartwell: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hartwell?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repairing versus replacing in Hartwell

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hartwell?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
