Bath re-enamelling near Bubwith

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bubwith

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. 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.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Bubwith

Questions from Bubwith

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bubwith?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Bubwith. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bubwith. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bubwith as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
