Landlord and trade work in Bishop Norton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bishop Norton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Bath re-enamelling in Bishop Norton 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. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bishop Norton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to compare quotes

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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bishop Norton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

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

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
