What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Welburn, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Welburn

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Welburn and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Welburn?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
