Bath re-enamelling for Flockton homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Flockton

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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 until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Flockton

Common questions in Flockton

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Flockton

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Flockton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
