How we handle bath re-enamelling in Skelton-in-Cleveland

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Skelton-in-Cleveland, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Skelton-in-Cleveland

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Skelton-in-Cleveland?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Skelton-in-Cleveland and the rest of Redcar and Cleveland. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Skelton-in-Cleveland?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When to call us in Skelton-in-Cleveland

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that won’t shift

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
