Bath re-enamelling in Great Cowden

About our bath re-enamelling in Great Cowden

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire.

Common questions in Great Cowden

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you come to Great Cowden?

We do. Technicians travel to Great Cowden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Cowden use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

Can I fix it myself?

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

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Great Cowden. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Great Cowden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Common problems we fix in Great Cowden

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
