Questions from Bishopthorpe
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Bishopthorpe.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bishopthorpe
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Bishopthorpe?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bishopthorpe. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bishopthorpe?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
