Bath re-enamelling for Fulford homes

Bath re-enamelling in Fulford, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

Fulford questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we work on in Fulford

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

Common problems we fix in Fulford

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
