Bath re-enamelling near Arnold

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Arnold

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Arnold and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Arnold

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Arnold?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?

The whole UK, including all of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Landlord and trade work in Arnold

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arnold use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

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. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Arnold

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Common reasons people in Arnold contact us include:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
