Bath re-enamelling near Eddlethorpe

Bath re-enamelling in Eddlethorpe without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Eddlethorpe: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Eddlethorpe.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

When to call us in Eddlethorpe

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that will not shift

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Eddlethorpe

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
