Bath re-enamelling in Sykehouse

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Bath re-enamelling in Sykehouse without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

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

Repair or replace in Sykehouse?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Sykehouse: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you charge for travel?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What your bath is made of matters

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

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Sykehouse. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
