Bath re-enamelling near Hillmorton

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Bath re-enamelling in Hillmorton without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Hillmorton. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hillmorton

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is my repair covered?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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.

What we’re called out for in Hillmorton

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Look out for these signs:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Hillmorton

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hillmorton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
