A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hutton Rudby

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and chips and rust in more than one place.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Hutton Rudby

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hutton Rudby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TS15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Hutton Rudby: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Hutton Rudby included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

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.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When to call us in Hutton Rudby

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
