Bath re-enamelling in Old Denaby

Bath re-enamelling in Old Denaby without replacing anything

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. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Denaby

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace in Old Denaby?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 usually cheaper.

Old Denaby: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you cover Old Denaby?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Old Denaby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
