Bath re-enamelling in Owstwick

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Bath re-enamelling in Owstwick, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Owstwick and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Owstwick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Owstwick

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Owstwick questions

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

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

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
