How we handle bath re-enamelling in Holmbury St Mary

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Holmbury St Mary

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you cover the whole of Surrey?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. 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. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Holmbury St Mary

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holmbury St Mary use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What affects the price in Holmbury St Mary

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
