Bath re-enamelling in Hinxhill

About our bath re-enamelling in Hinxhill

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Hinxhill

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlord and trade work in Hinxhill

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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

Common questions in Hinxhill

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Hinxhill

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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