Bath re-enamelling in Throxenby without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Throxenby

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A bath that is rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
