Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for New York

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in New York?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LN4 postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, New York included. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we’re called out for in New York

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in New York, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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