Need bath re-enamelling in Melton?

Landlord and trade work in Melton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Melton

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Melton as everywhere else we work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Melton: your questions answered

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Melton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?

The whole UK, including all of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What we are called out for in Melton

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Stains that won’t shift
