Bath re-enamelling in Hawksworth

Bath re-enamelling in Hawksworth, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawksworth

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hawksworth

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the whole of Leeds?

All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I fix it myself?

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hawksworth

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
