Keeping it looking good

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

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Holne

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Common problems we fix in Holne

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holne

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Holne questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Holne?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Holne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
