Bath re-enamelling in Hollybush

Bath re-enamelling in Hollybush, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.

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

Hollybush questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hollybush?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Hollybush?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Different materials, different repairs

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’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
