Bath re-enamelling at your home in North Town

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white.

Every job is backed for twelve months in North Town and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in North Town

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in North Town?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

We price from pictures 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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in North Town

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in North Town.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for North Town?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in North Town get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
