Bath re-enamelling near Huxley

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Huxley without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Huxley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Huxley

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Huxley. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

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.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Common questions in Huxley

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Cheshire West and Chester. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
