Bath re-enamelling near Skeldyke

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Bath re-enamelling in Skeldyke without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and lots of chips and rust spots, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Skeldyke

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skeldyke as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Skeldyke

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

When to call us in Skeldyke

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Skeldyke, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Skeldyke

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 a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
