Trusted bath re-enamelling in Bellerby

Bath re-enamelling in Bellerby 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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Bellerby: your questions answered

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Bellerby?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it messy?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What areas do you cover?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Bellerby

If you manage property in Bellerby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

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

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
