Bath re-enamelling in High Halstow, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

High Halstow: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it messy?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, High Halstow included. Travel is included in the price.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
