Bath re-enamelling for West Hendred homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in West Hendred

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Hendred as everywhere else we work.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we repair

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

How to compare quotes

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for West Hendred. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common questions in West Hendred

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will the new finish last?

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.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
