Bath re-enamelling in Holme

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

About our bath re-enamelling in Holme

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we are called out for in Holme

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Holme

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

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

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  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 day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
