Common problems we fix in Hatchford

Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Common reasons people in Hatchford contact us include:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Hatchford

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common questions in Hatchford

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

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

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KT11 postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Hatchford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hatchford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long is the bath unusable?

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Surrey and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
