Bath re-enamelling near Booth

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Booth

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Booth

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Booth

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Booth customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Booth. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we’re called out for in Booth

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

Booth: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Booth?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
