How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in West Yoke

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a coating lifting around the plughole, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in West Yoke

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in West Yoke

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How do I book?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Yoke. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
