How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Bath re-enamelling in Humber, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Humber and across Devon.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Humber

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Humber. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Humber

Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
