The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Ulceby Skitter

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Ulceby Skitter: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ulceby Skitter

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Ulceby Skitter?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
