Bath re-enamelling for Deighton homes

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Deighton without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Landlord and trade work in Deighton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Deighton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Deighton?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  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 day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO19 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
