Bath re-enamelling in Huncote without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Huncote

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

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

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Huncote

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Huncote questions

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Huncote is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Huncote

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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