Bath re-enamelling in Northorpe

About our bath re-enamelling in Northorpe

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Northorpe

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Northorpe?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Northorpe?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What affects the price in Northorpe

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

What it costs 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When to call us in Northorpe

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
