How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hennock

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

FAQs for Hennock

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Hennock?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What do you need from me?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Hennock

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on 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.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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 usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
