Bath re-enamelling in Holway

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Holway

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What affects the price in Holway

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

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

Repairing versus replacing in Holway

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Holway questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

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

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is my repair covered?

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