Common questions in Houndscroft
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Houndscroft?
We do. We send a technician to Houndscroft for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Houndscroft, done in place
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 work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What affects the price in Houndscroft
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Common problems we fix in Houndscroft
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
