Bath re-enamelling near Newton-with-Scales

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newton-with-Scales

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we’re called out for in Newton-with-Scales

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton-with-Scales as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Newton-with-Scales

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Newton-with-Scales?

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
