Trusted bath re-enamelling in Holborough

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Holborough

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we’re called out for in Holborough

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

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

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Landlord and trade work in Holborough

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
