Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Bath re-enamelling in Red Hill without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Red Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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 we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Red Hill

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Red Hill?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Red Hill?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Common reasons people in Red Hill contact us include:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
