Bath re-enamelling near Upper Heaton

Bath re-enamelling in Upper Heaton without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

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

When to call us in Upper Heaton

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that will not shift

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you 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 a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Upper Heaton questions

Do you come to Upper Heaton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Upper Heaton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What affects the price in Upper Heaton

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

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

Repair or replace in Upper Heaton?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
