Book bath re-enamelling in Cross Gates

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cross Gates

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cross Gates?

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Common questions in Cross Gates

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Cross Gates?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Do you come to Cross Gates?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cross Gates. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Leeds.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

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

What affects the price in Cross Gates

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Cross Gates. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
