Bath re-enamelling in Cleadon Park, 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, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we’re called out for in Cleadon Park

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cleadon Park

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cleadon Park. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Cleadon Park

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you work in Cleadon Park?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cleadon Park for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
