Bath re-enamelling in Holytown without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Holytown questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can I fix it myself?

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

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 frequently lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Holytown

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Holytown

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

Common problems we fix in Holytown

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

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

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
