About our bath re-enamelling in Sawley

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Landlord and trade work in Sawley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Sawley questions

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Sawley and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Sawley. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we work on in Sawley

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
