Bath re-enamelling in Beckwithshaw

Bath re-enamelling in Beckwithshaw without replacing anything

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, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

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 check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HG3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Beckwithshaw: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you come to Beckwithshaw?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Beckwithshaw. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Beckwithshaw

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
