Bath re-enamelling in Hawridge

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hawridge

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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 is the part we put right.

Questions from Hawridge

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Are there extra charges for Hawridge?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Hawridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

What affects the price in Hawridge

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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