Bath re-enamelling for Thornton le Moor homes

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thornton le Moor

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. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

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

Common problems we fix in Thornton le Moor

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Thornton le Moor

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repair or replace in Thornton le Moor?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Thornton le Moor

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
