About our bath re-enamelling in Little Clifton

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Little Clifton

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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

Common problems we fix in Little Clifton

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that won’t shift

  • Aftercare advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

FAQs for Little Clifton

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Little Clifton?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
