Bath re-enamelling in Holcot

Bath re-enamelling in Holcot without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Holcot

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

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

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Holcot

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Do you work in Holcot?

We do. Technicians travel to Holcot from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Holcot?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we work on in Holcot

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Holcot. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NN6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
