About our bath re-enamelling in Headley Down

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Headley Down and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Headley Down

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through

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

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Headley Down

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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