Trusted bath re-enamelling in Hunters Quay

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Bath re-enamelling in Hunters Quay, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repair or replace in Hunters Quay?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hunters Quay. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Hunters Quay

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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.

Can I fix it myself?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

FAQs for Hunters Quay

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
