Trusted bath re-enamelling in Inner Hope

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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

About our bath re-enamelling in Inner Hope

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Inner Hope, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

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. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Inner Hope, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

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

Related advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Inner Hope?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Inner Hope: your questions answered

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
