About our bath re-enamelling in Husthwaite

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Husthwaite and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Husthwaite

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Husthwaite as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Husthwaite

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. 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.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

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

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
