How we handle bath re-enamelling in Uncleby

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Uncleby. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Uncleby?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

FAQs for Uncleby

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
