Bath re-enamelling in Aislaby

Common problems we fix in Aislaby

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling in Aislaby, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We’re often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Aislaby

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
