Bath re-enamelling near Holt

Bath re-enamelling in Holt, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Holt

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

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

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Holt. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When to call us in Holt

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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