Tame Bridge questions

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

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

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tame Bridge

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Tame Bridge

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Tame Bridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

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.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Tame Bridge

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

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Tame Bridge

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
