Bath re-enamelling in Ebberston without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ebberston as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Ebberston, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Ebberston

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Ebberston: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Ebberston and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Ebberston

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
