Trusted bath re-enamelling in Belby

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Belby, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are frequently asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Belby, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Belby: your questions answered

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
