Holmer questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Holmer?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Holmer from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Holmer
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Herefordshire.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Holmer, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Holmer?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Common reasons people in Holmer contact us include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Holmer, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
