Bath re-enamelling near Holbury

About our bath re-enamelling in Holbury

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are frequently asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When to call us in Holbury

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

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

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Holbury, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Holbury

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Holbury included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Holbury, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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