Bath re-enamelling near Austerby

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Bath re-enamelling in Austerby, 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. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Austerby?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Austerby

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Austerby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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

Austerby questions

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
