Bath re-enamelling in North Frodingham, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in North Frodingham and across East Riding of Yorkshire.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from North Frodingham

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO25 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in North Frodingham?

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
