Bath re-enamelling for Medomsley homes

Bath re-enamelling in Medomsley without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Medomsley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

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.

Acrylic

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
