About our bath re-enamelling in Appleton-le-Moors

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

FAQs for Appleton-le-Moors

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

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.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Appleton-le-Moors?

We do. We send a technician to Appleton-le-Moors for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace in Appleton-le-Moors?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What we’re called out for in Appleton-le-Moors

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
