Bath re-enamelling in Hurst Green without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairing versus replacing in Hurst Green

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hurst Green?

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we work on in Hurst Green

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
