Bath re-enamelling for Skelton Green homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Skelton Green

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and stains that won’t shift, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Skelton Green

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Skelton Green?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TS12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Skelton Green

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Repair or replace in Skelton Green?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add 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.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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.
