How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hoften's Cross

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hoften's Cross and across Staffordshire.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Hoften's Cross: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hoften's Cross.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hoften's Cross

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
