Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Ornsby Hill without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ornsby Hill
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
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 do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ornsby Hill?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched

Repair or replace in Ornsby Hill?

Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DH7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ornsby Hill
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Ornsby Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
