Bath re-enamelling at your home in Frizinghall

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. We’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Questions from Frizinghall

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What we’re called out for in Frizinghall

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
