Bath re-enamelling in Holbeck without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Holbeck, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

When to call us in Holbeck

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

FAQs for Holbeck

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

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What do you need from me?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you come to Holbeck?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Holbeck for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Holbeck and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
