Bath re-enamelling in Burniston, done in place

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Common questions in Burniston

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What affects the price in Burniston

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Burniston

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burniston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.
