Bath re-enamelling near Stillington

Bath re-enamelling in Stillington, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stillington. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Stillington, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

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

Repair or replace in Stillington?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Stillington: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Common problems we fix in Stillington

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
