Questions from Kirkby Fleetham
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Kirkby Fleetham?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What else we do in Kirkby Fleetham
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kirkby Fleetham?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coloured bath you want in white

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
