What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Barton-le-Clay without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Barton-le-Clay questions

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Barton-le-Clay?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you cover Barton-le-Clay?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Barton-le-Clay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Landlord and trade work in Barton-le-Clay

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Barton-le-Clay

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Barton-le-Clay. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
