Bath re-enamelling in Oxton, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Common questions in Oxton

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Oxton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How soon can you come?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Oxton. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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 the part we put right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oxton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oxton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
