What we’re called out for in Catforth

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Catforth. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
