What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hayton. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

Bath re-enamelling in Hayton without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hayton?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Look out for these signs:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hayton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hayton

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hayton?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you come to Hayton?

We do. We send a technician to Hayton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
