Bath re-enamelling for Kirkbymoorside homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kirkbymoorside

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Kirkbymoorside: your questions answered

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
