Bath re-enamelling in Hatley St George

About our bath re-enamelling in Hatley St George

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Hatley St George

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Look out for these signs:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Hatley St George: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SG19 postcode.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
