Bath re-enamelling in Hunmanby Gap without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Hunmanby Gap. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Hunmanby Gap, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Hunmanby Gap

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you come to Hunmanby Gap?

We do. We send a technician to Hunmanby Gap for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hunmanby Gap?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
