Bath re-enamelling in Nunnington

Bath re-enamelling in Nunnington, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Nunnington and across North Yorkshire.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Nunnington

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

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

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Nunnington

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
