Bath re-enamelling for Huggate homes

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Huggate

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

Bath re-enamelling in Huggate without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Huggate as everywhere else we work.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Huggate, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Questions from Huggate

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Look out for these signs:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
