About our bath re-enamelling in Hatt

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hatt

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Common problems we fix in Hatt

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
