Trusted bath re-enamelling in Northern Moor

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Northern Moor

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we repair

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

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. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Northern Moor clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit
