Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Athersley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What else we do in Athersley
Athersley: your questions answered
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you cover Athersley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Athersley and the rest of Barnsley. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Athersley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we’re called out for in Athersley
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that won’t shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
