About our bath re-enamelling in Heptonstall

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Calderdale.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common questions in Heptonstall

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Heptonstall?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

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 most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Heptonstall?

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heptonstall as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Heptonstall

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
