Bath re-enamelling at your home in Butteryhaugh

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Butteryhaugh and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Butteryhaugh?

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Repairing versus replacing in Butteryhaugh

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Butteryhaugh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Butteryhaugh

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath

Most customers in Butteryhaugh get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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 until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
