What affects the price in Footherley

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Footherley

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

FAQs for Footherley

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we are called out for in Footherley

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
