Bath re-enamelling in Selside

What your bath is made of matters

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 is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Bath re-enamelling in Selside without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Selside

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What we cannot put right

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Selside. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
