How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kirk Deighton

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

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

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Kirk Deighton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Kirk Deighton

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

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

What we work on

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