Bath re-enamelling in South Ferriby

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK

How we handle bath re-enamelling in South Ferriby

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and lots of chips and rust spots, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in South Ferriby

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including South Ferriby and the rest of North Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Ferriby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
