  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sedbusk

We re-enamel a lot 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 wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Sedbusk

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Repair or replace in Sedbusk?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Sedbusk

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
