Bath re-enamelling in Great Busby

Great Busby questions

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Are there extra charges for Great Busby?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

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.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Great Busby.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Bath re-enamelling in Great Busby without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Great Busby and across North Yorkshire.

What we’re called out for in Great Busby

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Great Busby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
