Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Bath re-enamelling in Byrness without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

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

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

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What affects the price in Byrness

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  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 day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Byrness questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you come to Byrness?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Byrness and the rest of Northumberland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Byrness

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
