Trusted bath re-enamelling in Holloway Down

What we’re called out for in Holloway Down

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

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

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Holloway Down

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Holloway Down and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Holloway Down

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

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

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Holloway Down?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why choose Surface Doctor in Holloway Down

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
