Bath re-enamelling in Armitage Bridge

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Armitage Bridge

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Armitage Bridge. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Armitage Bridge

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

How do I book?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When to call us in Armitage Bridge

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
