About our bath re-enamelling in Kirk Hammerton

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it

Kirk Hammerton: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirk Hammerton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirk Hammerton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Kirk Hammerton

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price
