Need bath re-enamelling in Skirpenbeck?

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Skirpenbeck

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. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Skirpenbeck and across East Riding of Yorkshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Skirpenbeck?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Advice

Skirpenbeck: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
