How we handle bath re-enamelling in Haxey

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Haxey

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Haxey: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Do you cover the entire of North Lincolnshire?

We work UK-wide, so Haxey is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you come to Haxey?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Haxey and the rest of North Lincolnshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What affects the price in Haxey

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Haxey. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Haxey?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
