Questions from Aldbrough

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Aldbrough

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Aldbrough and across East Riding of Yorkshire.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

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

What we work on

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

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.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
