Bath re-enamelling in Hodthorpe without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hodthorpe

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Are there extra charges for Hodthorpe?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you work in Hodthorpe?

We do. We send a technician to Hodthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hodthorpe?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hodthorpe

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

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on 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 following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Honest limits

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What we’re called out for in Hodthorpe

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Stains that won’t shift

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

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.

Acrylic

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