Bath re-enamelling in East Barkwith, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and lots of chips and rust spots, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in East Barkwith

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that will not shift

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

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

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, 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.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

If you are in East Barkwith and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
