Bath re-enamelling in Lothersdale

Bath re-enamelling in Lothersdale without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Somewhere as small as Lothersdale, you will find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Repairing in place avoids that.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it. Somewhere like Lothersdale needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the bath re-enamelling, so there is no second trip.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Lothersdale

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Lothersdale, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Lothersdale?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Older homes around Lothersdale may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Lothersdale: your questions answered

I let a flat near Cononley station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes. We repair baths between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.

My house in Lothersdale is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

Usually, yes. Older baths are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we are called out for in Lothersdale

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Look out for these signs:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

For older houses around Lothersdale, near landmarks such as Christ Church, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
