Bath re-enamelling for North End homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in North End

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NE65 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What bath re-enamelling costs

  • What it’s made of, if you know

When to call us in North End

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
