Bath re-enamelling in Huttoft without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we are called out for in Huttoft

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Look out for these signs:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Huttoft

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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