Bath re-enamelling in Skirlaugh

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Skirlaugh

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

FAQs for Skirlaugh

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Skirlaugh. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for Skirlaugh?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Skirlaugh?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
