Common questions in Swarcliffe

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Bath re-enamelling in Swarcliffe without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we are called out for in Swarcliffe

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace in Swarcliffe?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Swarcliffe

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
