Trusted bath re-enamelling in South Harefield

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in South Harefield

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. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in South Harefield

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in South Harefield?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why South Harefield customers choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
