Bath re-enamelling for Holmethorpe homes

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Holmethorpe

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We are often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Holmethorpe

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that won’t shift

  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holmethorpe

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holmethorpe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Holmethorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Holmethorpe. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Holmethorpe, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
