Bath re-enamelling at your home in Haswell Moor

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Haswell Moor

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Haswell Moor. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlord and trade work in Haswell Moor

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Haswell Moor, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Haswell Moor?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
