Need bath re-enamelling in Heads Hill?

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Berkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

About our bath re-enamelling in Heads Hill

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Heads Hill questions

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Common problems we fix in Heads Hill

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Common reasons people in Heads Hill contact us are:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Heads Hill

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Heads Hill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
