Bath re-enamelling in Skelbrooke

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Skelbrooke

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlord and trade work in Skelbrooke

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Skelbrooke, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t 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.

When to call us in Skelbrooke

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Skelbrooke: your questions answered

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Skelbrooke. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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