Bath re-enamelling near North Country

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

About our bath re-enamelling in North Country

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in North Country

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

How to compare quotes

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in North Country

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around North Country, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

North Country questions

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

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.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you cover North Country?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to North Country. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
