Bath re-enamelling for Hazelwell homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hazelwell

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hazelwell

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Hazelwell

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

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

Compared with replacing, 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.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Hazelwell

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hazelwell?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your B14 postcode.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Hazelwell

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
