How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ulley

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ulley and across Rotherham.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ulley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ulley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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 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, then guarantee it for a year.
