Bath re-enamelling in Flookburgh

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Bath re-enamelling in Flookburgh, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Flookburgh

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for these signs:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

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

Roll-top and period baths

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

Common questions in Flookburgh

Do you cover Flookburgh?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Flookburgh and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is my repair covered?

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Flookburgh?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LA11 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Flookburgh.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Flookburgh clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Landlord and trade work in Flookburgh

For anyone letting property in or around Flookburgh, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
