Bath re-enamelling near Greenwith Common

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Bath re-enamelling in Greenwith Common, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Common problems we fix in Greenwith Common

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Greenwith Common

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
