10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hinton Blewett

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hinton Blewett. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hinton Blewett. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hinton Blewett, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Hinton Blewett questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you cover Hinton Blewett?

We do. We send a technician to Hinton Blewett for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
