10 questions to ask before you book

Bath re-enamelling in Austhorpe without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leeds.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Austhorpe customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

FAQs for Austhorpe

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Austhorpe.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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