About our bath re-enamelling in Yafforth

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Yafforth questions

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Yafforth?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Yafforth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Yafforth?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • 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.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Yafforth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
