How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upperthong

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upperthong

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Upperthong, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Upperthong

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

FAQs for Upperthong

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of Kirklees, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upperthong. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
