Bath re-enamelling for Walkington homes

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walkington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Bath re-enamelling in Walkington, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Walkington questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Riding of Yorkshire.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Walkington?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Walkington?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
