Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

About our bath re-enamelling in Hurlston

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Hurlston

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you cover Hurlston?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hurlston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hurlston?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hurlston

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
