How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dunnington

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Dunnington

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

What affects the price in Dunnington

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunnington. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs 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.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Dunnington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dunnington

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Dunnington and the rest of York. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunnington

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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.
