Bath re-enamelling in Hollingwood

Repair or replace in Hollingwood?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site

What we’re called out for in Hollingwood

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hollingwood

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hollingwood

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
