How we handle bath re-enamelling in Soil Hill

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Calderdale.

What we’re called out for in Soil Hill

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Soil Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Soil Hill

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Soil Hill: your questions answered

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you come to Soil Hill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Soil Hill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Never use suction bath mats

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
