Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath

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

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Exley Head

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Exley Head

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Exley Head

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Bradford. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we are called out for in Exley Head

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  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 usually ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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