How we handle bath re-enamelling in Honeydon

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and lots of chips and rust spots.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Questions from Honeydon

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Honeydon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. 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.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs

When to call us in Honeydon

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

You do not 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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
