Bath re-enamelling in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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