Need bath re-enamelling in Hogsthorpe?

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Hogsthorpe

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hogsthorpe

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Hogsthorpe

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Are there extra charges for Hogsthorpe?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Repair or replace in Hogsthorpe?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Landlord and trade work in Hogsthorpe

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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 prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
