Questions from Baldersby St James

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

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.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What affects the price in Baldersby St James

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Baldersby St James?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
