Bath re-enamelling for Hirst Courtney homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hirst Courtney

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.

Bath re-enamelling in Hirst Courtney without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

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 typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hirst Courtney

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Common reasons people in Hirst Courtney contact us are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What affects the price in Hirst Courtney

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hirst Courtney

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
