Bath re-enamelling near Hattoncrook

Hattoncrook: your questions answered

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover Hattoncrook?

We do. Technicians travel to Hattoncrook from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Bath re-enamelling in Hattoncrook without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hattoncrook. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Hattoncrook

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hattoncrook

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
