Trusted bath re-enamelling in Heydon

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Heydon without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Heydon

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Heydon

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heydon use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repair or replace in Heydon?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add 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.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Heydon: your questions answered

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
