Trusted bath re-enamelling in Asterby

Bath re-enamelling in Asterby without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Asterby

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Asterby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Asterby questions

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
