Bath re-enamelling near Thunder Bridge

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Thunder Bridge

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kirklees.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What affects the price in Thunder Bridge

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HD8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
