How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Cayton. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Bath re-enamelling in Cayton, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cayton?

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Questions from Cayton

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
