About our bath re-enamelling in Osmondthorpe

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place.

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

Questions from Osmondthorpe

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Leeds.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Osmondthorpe

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Osmondthorpe. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

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 you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LS9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath

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.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Osmondthorpe?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
