Bath re-enamelling near Brierley

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Bath re-enamelling in Brierley without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Brierley and across Barnsley.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for Brierley

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you come to Brierley?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Brierley and the rest of Barnsley. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Barnsley.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there a smell?

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Brierley?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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