Bath re-enamelling near Carlton in Cleveland

Carlton in Cleveland: your questions answered

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Bath re-enamelling in Carlton in Cleveland, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. 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. 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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repair or replace in Carlton in Cleveland?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are

Common problems we fix in Carlton in Cleveland

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
