Bath re-enamelling near Sedbergh

Bath re-enamelling in Sedbergh, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sedbergh

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

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

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

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 there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sedbergh

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sedbergh as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
