Bath re-enamelling in Hollins without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Hollins

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Hollins

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hollins. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Hollins clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a 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. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

What affects the price in Hollins

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in Hollins

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

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

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
