How we handle bath re-enamelling in Feniscliffe

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Feniscliffe?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Feniscliffe

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Feniscliffe?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When we’d advise against a repair

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Feniscliffe. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
