Bath re-enamelling near Old Malton

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Bath re-enamelling in Old Malton, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Old Malton: your questions answered

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you cover Old Malton?

We do. Technicians travel to Old Malton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Old Malton?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Old Malton?

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

Clients typically contact us about:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Several chips and rust patches

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
