What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

About our bath re-enamelling in High Harrington

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in High Harrington

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

High Harrington: your questions answered

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

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

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CA14 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

When to call us in High Harrington

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

For landlords and businesses

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
