Bath re-enamelling in Hollybushes, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hollybushes use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Hollybushes

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

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Hollybushes: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are there extra charges for Hollybushes?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Hollybushes

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
