Bath re-enamelling in Harewood

Bath re-enamelling in Harewood, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Harewood

Do you work in Harewood?

We do. Technicians travel to Harewood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Harewood

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Common problems we fix in Harewood

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Harewood

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Harewood. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harewood as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
