Bath re-enamelling near Hessle

About our bath re-enamelling in Hessle

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Hessle questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a 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. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
