Bath re-enamelling near Ainsty

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ainsty

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Ainsty

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ainsty?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Do you cover Ainsty?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ainsty and the rest of Leeds. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repairing versus replacing in Ainsty

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Store bottles off the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When to call us in Ainsty

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that will not shift

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
