Bath re-enamelling for Carleton-in-Craven homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carleton-in-Craven

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Bath re-enamelling in Carleton-in-Craven, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Carleton-in-Craven as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Carleton-in-Craven

Do the materials smell?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is there a smell?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Carleton-in-Craven?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Carleton-in-Craven

Replacing a bath typically 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
