Bath re-enamelling in Hilcott

Bath re-enamelling in Hilcott, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hilcott. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Hilcott, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hilcott questions

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hilcott?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hilcott.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Common problems we fix in Hilcott

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
