Bath re-enamelling in High Callerton

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Bath re-enamelling in High Callerton, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in High Callerton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in High Callerton?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Common reasons people in High Callerton contact us include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

High Callerton questions

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

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.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
