Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common questions in Buslingthorpe

What areas do you cover?

All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?

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

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buslingthorpe

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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 pay close attention there.

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Buslingthorpe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
