Bath re-enamelling at your home in Low Holdworth

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Low Holdworth. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

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.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Low Holdworth and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Low Holdworth

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
