Our hiring checklist

About our bath re-enamelling in Holdingham

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
