Work for landlords and builders

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sherburn
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Sherburn questions
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Sherburn?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sherburn. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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 you know the cost before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Sherburn. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that is rusted through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
