Bath re-enamelling in Spofforth, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Spofforth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Spofforth

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Spofforth

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
