Bath re-enamelling in Knotford

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Knotford

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knotford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Common problems we fix in Knotford

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:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Knotford

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What areas do you cover?

All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LS21 postcode.

Is it messy?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Knotford?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
