When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When to call us in Hickmans Green

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Hickmans Green

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will you leave 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?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. 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. Mention it when you send photos.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.
