Bath re-enamelling near Hillfields

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Bath re-enamelling in Hillfields without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillfields

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What affects the price in Hillfields

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

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

Materials we work on in Hillfields

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hillfields, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
