When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Amotherby, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Common questions in Amotherby

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Amotherby, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

What affects the price in Amotherby

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Amotherby?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Amotherby?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
