About our bath re-enamelling in Upper Cumberworth

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Upper Cumberworth questions

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?

We work UK-wide, so Upper Cumberworth is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Cumberworth

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Cumberworth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

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.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
