Bath re-enamelling at your home in Saxton

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

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 quote without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

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

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Saxton

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

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

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
