Bath re-enamelling in Yelvertoft, done in place

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Yelvertoft as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Yelvertoft

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Repairing versus replacing in Yelvertoft

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our prices page and bath cost comparison.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

What affects the price in Yelvertoft

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
