Bath re-enamelling near Kirkburn

When to call us in Kirkburn

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

Our hiring checklist

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kirkburn

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Kirkburn

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Kirkburn

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkburn

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kirkburn

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
