Bath re-enamelling in Havercroft without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Havercroft and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Havercroft

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Havercroft. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Havercroft get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Common questions in Havercroft

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How do I book?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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.
