Bath re-enamelling for Wetherby homes

Bath re-enamelling in Wetherby, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

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. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Wetherby

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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.

Wetherby: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover the whole of Leeds?

All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, 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.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

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

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that is rusted through
