Bath re-enamelling in Topcliffe

Bath re-enamelling in Topcliffe without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Topcliffe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Landlord and trade work in Topcliffe

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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 day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

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

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Topcliffe questions

Is my repair covered?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.
