Book bath re-enamelling in Little Tarrington

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Herefordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Tarrington

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Little Tarrington as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step

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 a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

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

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Little Tarrington

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

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. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
