Bath re-enamelling in Cracoe, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cracoe

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Which areas do you work in?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cracoe?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the entire UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Cracoe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
