Bath re-enamelling in Holywell Lake

About our bath re-enamelling in Holywell Lake

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

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 the part we put right.

Holywell Lake: your questions answered

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover Holywell Lake?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Holywell Lake. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

  • Acrylic baths

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
