Bath re-enamelling at your home in Egton

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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 what we repair.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Egton. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

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

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Egton?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

How to compare quotes

Egton: your questions answered

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are there extra charges for Egton?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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