FAQs for Little Habton

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Little Habton?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we are called out for in Little Habton

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Common reasons people in Little Habton contact us are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that will not shift

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
