About our bath re-enamelling in Holyfield

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs

Common problems we fix in Holyfield

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that won’t shift

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Holyfield

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Never use suction bath mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holyfield use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
