Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Bath re-enamelling in High Ackworth, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Questions from High Ackworth

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in High Ackworth?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your WF7 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  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 normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, 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.

Repairing versus replacing in High Ackworth

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in High Ackworth

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Common reasons people in High Ackworth contact us are:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in High Ackworth

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

For anyone letting property in or around High Ackworth, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
