How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sherburn

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Sherburn: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Sherburn. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

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

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Sherburn?

We do. We send a technician to Sherburn for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Sherburn?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sherburn as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Repair or replace in Sherburn?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Sherburn clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sherburn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
