When to call us in Cassop

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cassop

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

If you manage property in Cassop, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cassop

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you cover Cassop?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cassop for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Cassop customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
