Questions from Hetton

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Hetton

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hetton and across North Yorkshire.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hetton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Hetton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Common problems we fix in Hetton

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
