Bath re-enamelling near Holton Hill

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Holton Hill

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holton Hill

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holton Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Holton Hill questions

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

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Are there extra charges for Holton Hill?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Holton Hill, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Holton Hill

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
