Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Maltby

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Maltby is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Bath re-enamelling in Maltby without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Maltby

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Maltby

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

When to call us in Maltby

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
