What affects the price in Yarborough

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Yarborough get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath re-enamelling in Yarborough without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

What we’re called out for in Yarborough

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Yarborough?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Everything repaired in place

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
