Bath re-enamelling for Eccleshill homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Eccleshill

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

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

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Eccleshill: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Eccleshill?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover Eccleshill?

We do. We send a technician to Eccleshill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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