Bath re-enamelling in Lower Hazel

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Hazel. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Lower Hazel get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Lower Hazel questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Lower Hazel included. Travel is included in the price.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

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

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
