Bath re-enamelling in Holmbridge, 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 are often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holmbridge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Holmbridge

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t 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.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
