Bath re-enamelling near West Hyde

Bath re-enamelling at your home in West Hyde

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We’re often asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Hyde as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in West Hyde

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Questions from West Hyde

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including West Hyde and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
