Bath re-enamelling for Ferry Fryston homes

Bath re-enamelling in Ferry Fryston, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ferry Fryston

If you manage property in Ferry Fryston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Ferry Fryston questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Ferry Fryston

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
