Bath re-enamelling for Bishop's Hull homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Bishop's Hull

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Bishop's Hull

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Bishop's Hull

What affects the price in Bishop's Hull

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Bishop's Hull. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common problems we fix in Bishop's Hull

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Bishop's Hull questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
