Bath re-enamelling in Calverley, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Common questions in Calverley

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will the price change on the day?

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

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we work on in Calverley

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Calverley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Calverley

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Calverley

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
