Bath re-enamelling near Harvest Hill

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Harvest Hill

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Harvest Hill and across Coventry.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Harvest Hill

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Harvest Hill?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Harvest Hill

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
