Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kirk Hallam

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

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

Repair or replace in Kirk Hallam?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kirk Hallam. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

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

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirk Hallam

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Kirk Hallam: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Kirk Hallam.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
