Bath re-enamelling in Lockton

Bath re-enamelling in Lockton, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

What we can’t put right

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What affects the price in Lockton

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lockton. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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

What we are called out for in Lockton

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that will not shift

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
