Bath re-enamelling for Holywell Row homes

Bath re-enamelling in Holywell Row without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Holywell Row

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

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

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Holywell Row: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the new finish last?

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found 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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlord and trade work in Holywell Row

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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