Bath re-enamelling for East Sleekburn homes

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Bath re-enamelling in East Sleekburn, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What we are called out for in East Sleekburn

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
