Bath re-enamelling for Sutton upon Derwent homes

Bath re-enamelling in Sutton upon Derwent without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Sutton upon Derwent, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Sutton upon Derwent

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?

The whole UK, including all of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sutton upon Derwent

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Sutton upon Derwent

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath

Most clients in Sutton upon Derwent get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
