Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Bath re-enamelling in Holton without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Holton

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Holton

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work in Holton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Holton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Holton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
