Need bath re-enamelling in Irby upon Humber?

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 are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Irby upon Humber. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Bath re-enamelling in Irby upon Humber without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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 until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Irby upon Humber. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Irby upon Humber and the rest of North East Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not 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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
