Bath re-enamelling in Hilderstone

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hilderstone

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

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 typically takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Hilderstone get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Does someone need to be in?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
