Bath re-enamelling in Holm, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Holm. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Holm. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Holm

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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