About our bath re-enamelling in Acaster Malbis
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Acaster Malbis and across York.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Acaster Malbis. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Acaster Malbis
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are there extra charges for Acaster Malbis?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What areas do you cover?
All of York, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Acaster Malbis
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
