How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pateley Bridge

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Pateley Bridge

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

What affects the price in Pateley Bridge

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Pateley Bridge get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
