Bath re-enamelling in Ulleskelf without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairing versus replacing in Ulleskelf

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ulleskelf

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

Landlord and trade work in Ulleskelf

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
