Book bath re-enamelling in Healey

How the visit works

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 the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Healey

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Healey and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 won’t last.

Common questions in Healey

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can landlords book you?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you work in Healey?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Healey for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Repairs by material

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

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Materials we work on in Healey

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

Repairing versus replacing in Healey

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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Healey

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
