Bath re-enamelling in Arthington without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Arthington

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Arthington

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Stains that won’t shift

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Arthington

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

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