Need bath re-enamelling in Hereford?

Repair or replace in Hereford?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Bath re-enamelling in Hereford without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Herefordshire.

Common problems we fix in Hereford

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Can I fix it myself?

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 typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hereford. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hereford

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
