About our bath re-enamelling in Hipperholme

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Hipperholme

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hipperholme?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you come to Hipperholme?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hipperholme. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common problems we fix in Hipperholme

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Hipperholme

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
