DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milthorpe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, 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

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Milthorpe

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Milthorpe

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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