Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Askham
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
We cover the whole UK, including Askham and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Askham
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
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 liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Askham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Most customers in Askham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
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 is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
