Bath re-enamelling in Hinckley

About our bath re-enamelling in Hinckley

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Hinckley

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Hinckley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

FAQs for Hinckley

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hinckley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
