Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling in Fitzwilliam without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fitzwilliam

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fitzwilliam use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fitzwilliam?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Questions from Fitzwilliam

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Fitzwilliam?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do you cover the whole of Wakefield?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Fitzwilliam. Prices don’t change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price
