Bath re-enamelling in Burngreave

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Burngreave

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

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 clean up when we are done 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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Burngreave: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What we are called out for in Burngreave

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
