Bath re-enamelling near Sots Hole

Bath re-enamelling in Sots Hole without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays

When to call us in Sots Hole

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sots Hole

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work in Sots Hole?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sots Hole from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Sots Hole

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Sots Hole. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LN4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Sots Hole, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
