Bath re-enamelling for Hauxton homes

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Bath re-enamelling in Hauxton without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Hauxton

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Hauxton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

What affects the price in Hauxton

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

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

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hauxton

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Common problems we fix in Hauxton

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Common reasons people in Hauxton contact us are:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
