Bath re-enamelling in Hayton, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Hayton

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairing versus replacing in Hayton

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Hayton

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DN22 postcode.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is there any odour?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hayton. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When we would advise against a repair

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

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
