Bath re-enamelling in Holly Green

FAQs for Holly Green

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How do I book?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Holly Green

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

What affects the price in Holly Green

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Holly Green

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that will not shift

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

Materials we work on in Holly Green

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
