How we handle bath re-enamelling in Streethouse

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What affects the price in Streethouse

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Streethouse. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Streethouse

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Streethouse

For anyone letting property in or around Streethouse, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Streethouse

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

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Wakefield.

Will the bath be moved?

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

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
