Bath re-enamelling in Knayton, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Knayton

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knayton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knayton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Questions from Knayton

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your YO7 postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common problems we fix in Knayton

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Knayton?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

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