Bath re-enamelling in West Haddon

Bath re-enamelling at your home in West Haddon

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Questions from West Haddon

Will the new finish last?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?

Everywhere in the UK, West Haddon included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in West Haddon.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Advice

Common problems we fix in West Haddon

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in West Haddon

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to West Haddon. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in West Haddon, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
