Bath re-enamelling near Thornholme

Bath re-enamelling in Thornholme, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Thornholme questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Thornholme?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your YO25 postcode.

What we are called out for in Thornholme

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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