Bath re-enamelling in Hayfield

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hayfield

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Hayfield

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a smell?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hayfield, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Hayfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hayfield use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we’re called out for in Hayfield

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
